As much as I want to be excited that the Bears won, and at 8-7 are now firmly in the playoff picture, I just can’t help but wince. Sure, we just put together our second 3-game win-streak, which kind of nullifies our 6-game losing streak (no it doesn’t). But after clawing our way back above .500 for the first time in 41 days, the Bears are still just 1-5 against teams with winning records. That means that 7 of our wins have come against losing teams who’s combined records are just 30-75 (.286). And yet we somehow control our fate: if we win, we’re in. But we have to beat GB, which we’ve only done 3 times in our last 20 tries (15%). If we lose, we still get in if AZ loses too. So just like the COVID vaccine, the Bears will get 2 shots to stay alive through this hoax of a season.
If the Bears only played teams with losing records,
we’d probably make the playoffs much more often
